Profhilo®
The ultimate injectable moisturiser!
Profhilo® is a bio stimulator made from hyaluronic acid used to enhance the face and neck. Unlike traditional HA (Hyaluronic Acid) dermal fillers it does not volumise, instead it is injected just under the surface of the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin to improve skin hydration, lines, wrinkles, skin tone, laxity and firmness while giving a tightening and lifting effect to our skin.
At Caci we are passionate about our customers feeling confident in their skin. Our team of Registered Cosmetic Nurses at Caci use products and treatments specifically designed to deliver long lasting results.
How does Profhilo® work?
Profhilo®. is injected just under the surface of the skin to stimulate skin cells, collagen and elastin to improve skin hydration, lines, wrinkles, skin tone, laxity and firmness giving a tightening and lifting effect on our skin.
Containing one of the highest concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid on the market, the revolutionary 'beneath the skin' moisturising treatment is made with the patented NAHYCO® technology, which makes it possible to deliver high levels of hyaluronic acid safely and effectively.
Hyaluronic Acid is a water-binding molecule that can hold 10,000 times its weight in water. It naturally occurs in the skin but as we age our bodies produce less of it. While commonly used in skincare, when injected into the skin, Hyaluronic Acid stimulates the skin cell receptors to improve and restore firmness of the skin. Unlike traditional HA (Hyaluronic Acid) Dermal Fillers it does not volumise, instead it stimulates new collagen and elastin in the superficial layers of the skin by attracting and retaining water.
At Caci, our qualified Registered Nurses carry out these treatments and are made up of two appointments four - six weeks apart, with top up appointments every six months. Results may be visible following the first treatment, with best results from four weeks after the second treatment. The injection process is quick and takes around 15 minutes. Results do vary, but typically last 6-9 months. It is suitable for men and women, with benefits for all age groups.

- Bruising is possible, you can apply Hirudoid cream (available at most chemists) which may help to shorten the duration of the bruise.
- Avoid consuming alcohol, strenuous exercise or rubbing/massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid activity where your skin may come into contact with irritants, ie: pools, hot tubs., saunas. In addition to this avoid activity that may expose your skin to infectious material while your skin is healing, including pets.
